With over 1,200 breaches and over 3.4 billion records exposed, 2017 is already on pace to be yet another “worst year on record” for data breach activity, according to Risk Based Security.

“With breach activity showing no signs of slowing down, it’s become more important than ever to understand the drivers behind data loss. This is especially true when it comes to understanding the risk factors facing our third party business partners. Monitoring for leaked credentials, verifying security hygiene and getting alerted to new breach activity are now critical components of the vendor risk management process,” added Goddijn.
